Chapter 2500: The Son-in-Law's Counterattack

2501: The Son-in-law's Counterattack

"Help? Haven't you already asked a lot of people for help before?" Luna-Huan asked with her head tilted.

"Indeed, there are many people who support me, but they will not take action at the moment." Sanya Tag's expression was somewhat gloomy. "Now almost the entire family's senior leaders are on the side of Orman Tag. Even if someone wants to resist, it is impossible for them to take the initiative to jump out. That is tantamount to seeking death."

"So those people are just fence-sitters, waiting for you to go out and act as a human shield, and then see which way the wind blows?" Luna-Meng said, "You should have your own confidants, right?"

Sonja Tag nodded and said, "Yes, the Falken family."

"Oh, I seem to remember a few such people." Luna-Huan said, "Their last names are very strange."

"Layla Tagge-Faulken and her husband, Brace Tagge-Faulken, are responsible for the company's personnel work. This includes the appointment and arrangement of officials, the discovery and training of newcomers, and so on." Sonja said, "Brace Falken's grandfather, Thomas Falken, is the admiral of the Galactic Republic. Layla Tagge is also another cousin of the Tagge family. She is also my cousin. After she married Brace Falken, the two shared the same surname, so that's why."

"So, Thomas is not a son-in-law?" Luna-Meng asked.

"No, it's a marriage. After Thomas Falken retired, the Falken family's influence in the military gradually faded, and they also hope to get our support. Our Tag family has always wanted to expand our influence in the military, so this marriage came about. Brace Tag Falken has always been the bridge of communication between our family and the military." Sonja Tag said, "It was he who arranged for Cassio Tag and Yurik Tag to join the army."

"They are in charge of personnel work, and their positions are very critical. But are you sure they will help you?" Luna-Meng asked again.

"I'm sure. Leila Tag-Falcon has always had a deep conflict with Silas Tag, and she doesn't like their party. And Bryce Tag-Falcon, although he looks like a rough and reckless man, is a real soldier. No one understands the corruption in the imperial army better than him. It is precisely because of his understanding of the army that he has always agreed with my relatively conservative policies." said Sonya Tag.

"So, what do you want the Kingdom of Dawn to do for you?" Luna-Meng asked. "They just carried out a plan to destroy the Death Star. They suffered heavy losses among their hidden informants and agents. They will not carry out such a large-scale operation again in the short term."

"I hope to get Cassio Tag back." Sonja said, "and if possible, please put some military pressure on the empire on the border."

Luna-Meng nodded and said, "I'll find a way to spread the news."

"Well now, let's find a way to save that beautiful big sister first." Luna-Huan said, looking at the stage.

Felix Tagg, with a victorious smile on his face, walked over to help Adelaide Tagg up, and then took his wife away under the angry gazes of the representatives of the Ministry of Finance.

That's right, from now on, the ice goddess Adelaide Tagg has been completely destroyed by him. From now on, he is the one who holds the dominant power and no longer needs to face Adelaide's meddling! He, Felix, a son-in-law, has finally made a comeback!

He glanced proudly at the representatives of the Ministry of Finance, and in his mind he had already begun to think about how to settle the score in the future and completely eliminate these cronies of Adelaide.

Sonja Tag nodded. That's right. The Ministry of Finance cannot be controlled by Orman Tag. Otherwise, everything will be irreversible. However, at this moment, Orman Tag suddenly announced a personnel appointment. He politely made a gesture of invitation to the audience and said, "Now, I am honored to introduce to you our company's new consultant, Mal Sikander! A senior judge of the Imperial Court of Inquisition."

"I felt something was wrong just now. Sure enough, there is a judge here." Luna Meng's face became serious. "How could Orman Tag accept that there is a judge here?"

"He angered Darth Vader, maybe this has something to do with it. I'm not too familiar with the affairs of the Inquisition, but I heard that the relationship between Darth Vader and the Inquisition is as bad as fire and water." Sonja Tag's face darkened. "Besides, he asked the Inquisitor to come here, so there is no doubt that there is only one purpose - to clean up the inside."

"We can't start a war with a high-ranking judge here. If we do this, all the Force-sensitive people on the planet will know about it." Luna-Meng shook her sister's hand. "Anyway, let's leave here first."

At the meeting, Orman Tag looked at the horrified eyes around him and said slowly: "His Majesty the Emperor is very worried about some disloyal behavior that may exist within our family. In order to dispel His Majesty's concerns and to ensure the unity of our family, I will, with the help of the Imperial Inquisitor, begin to rectify the...disciplinary issues within the family."

……

Adelaide Tagg opened her eyes and found herself lying in a small room, with neat and simple decorations and furniture. This was a separate courtyard in her mansion, where the maid lived.

She suddenly remembered what happened at the summit, and roared as she tried to stand up, but she found that her hands and feet were handcuffed! She was fixed to the bed.

"You'd better save your energy and reflect on what you have done, my dear. Then think about how to explain to the Imperial Inquisitor." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the side.

Yes, although it was very familiar, the toughness and distance in the tone were extremely strange.

"Felix! Why is it you!? Why is it you!?" Adelaide Tagg roared, "You betrayed me! It was you who changed my data! It was you who falsified the financial data!!"

After struggling for a while in vain, she collapsed on the bed, turned her face away from her husband, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

However, Felix shouted, "You forced me to do this, understand? You forced me to do this! Have you ever thought about my thoughts? No! You always make all the decisions! I don't even have the right to make suggestions! What do you think of me? You always think of me as a vase! That's right! I'll be a vase! But being a vase costs money, you know? How much money did you give me? Even at home, you are very careful with your money! You gave me nothing but humiliation!!"

"I gave myself to you, what else do you want!!" Adelaide Tagg cried out loudly with tears on her face, "Did you make the decisions I asked you to make? When did you not cause huge losses? In the end, I had to clean up the mess! Now you have betrayed all of us! Do you know what would happen if Orman Tagg took control of the finance department?!"

"Of course I know." Felix leaned over and grabbed Adelaide Tagg's chin. "From now on... you will become my slave, my personal... forbidden fruit."
